HP Driver Configuration Editor
Description
The HP Driver Configuration Editor is a small Windows application that the user can use to
edit the configuration file associated with a particular driver. The configuration file controls
the printer driver settings and takes effect when the driver is installed.
This tool does not handle any part of the deployment or installation of the driver. Rather, the
configuration file is modified and saved back to the same driver directory in which it was
opened.
It is intended for use in environments where there is an established process for deploying
drivers or where the server platform is not Windows-based. To support any Novell or PSA
Point and Print environments, this is the pre-configuration tool of choice.
Access/installation
The HP Driver Configuration Editor can be downloaded from hp.com at the following URL:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpdpc_sw
After it has been downloaded, the compressed package can be expanded into a local or
network directory. No formal installation process is required; as soon as the package has
been expanded, it is ready to be run. The application can be run by double-clicking
HPBCFGAP.EXE in the destination directory.
This application shares functional features and user interface with the Customization Utility
and Web-based versions of the HP driver pre-configuration.
